Gibson Pitts Beneath the Surface

      Gibson Pitts, 21, may seem like your ordinary Charlestonian, but little do you know that she is a world wide traveler and Oscar enthusiast. Pitts is a Folly Beach native who shares a passion for the ocean, videography and photography.

     One of her other interests that was inspired by her father is traveling. Her father who works for Spawar, which deals with electrical engineering for the navy, is currently living on base in Naples, Italy with her mother and two brothers, Joseph and William.
     This situation is not foreign for Pitts. She lived in Naples when she was in grade school for two years and also lived in London for one and a half years when she was eight due to her fathers job placements.
     One detail to this situation Pitts has not adjusted to yet, is her ability to see her family. "I haven't seen my family in over a year, but I did visit about a year ago" Pitts said.
     She is currently living with her Aunt and Uncle on James Island to have family comfort and to still enjoy the local Charleston feel.
     Pitts has a passion for going to the beach, kayaking, writing and going out on the weekends with her friends. Her two closest friends are Mackenzie from Syracuse, NY and Hayden, who is from Austin, Texas. Mackenzie, Hayden and Gibson like to eat at the Lost Dog on Folly Beach and go to Midtown Bar on the weekends.

     One of the more discrete passions Pitts indulges in is her love for video production. "My dream is to win an Oscar for best director, screen play or film." Pitts said. She has a niche for video editing and plans on making her dream a reality.
     While discussing her dreams she also explained her fear of heights. Pitts has decided that because she has a fear of heights she is going to make herself go skydiving to face her fear.

     From talking with Pitts it is undeniable that she is a go getter and is willing to face her fears and make her dreams a reality.
